The port of Hamburg with all its beautiful faces that vary from the beautiful skyline, the impressive container port and the historic Warehouse Complex up to the quays where you can gaze at giant ships and big ocean liners is my most favourite place in my hometown and one of the reasons why I love to live here.

...(I'm german so I apologize for my bad english)
I live in Hamburg and study meteorology since three years.
In my opinion I live in the most interesting and exciting city in Germany.
With 1.7 Million inhabitants it is the secound biggest city in Germany.
It is in the north part of Germany and it is famous for the port. It is one of the biggest ports in Europe.
A lot of people say that it is the port witch gives Hamburg the special atmosphere. I can only agree. If your are in the nightlife on a Saturdaynight and you walk to the port ( it is in the centre of Hamburg) it is very relaxing to drink your beer, watch the big ships and heer the noise of a port. I like it.

...this is a phenomenly beautiful city. it is not often visited due to the touristic pull of nearby hamburg, but it should be visited and lived in, it is that beautiful. it is a port but all of the industrial buildings are situated about 5 km away and so the city retains its sense of peace and quiet. it has a very quaint inner city that has been well restored, the schnurviertel consists of little boutiques which look as though they have come out of a hansel and gretel story. the town hall is simply marvellous, its striking facade is breathtaking and in frontt of it is a statue of the old chivalric knight Roland, which is also worth visiting. boetcherstrasse should not be missed either as a fine example of early 20th art....
